The present in vitro study using human liver tissue was performed to investigate the effect of cyclosporin A on lipid peroxidation and cytochrome P-450 concentration in isolated liver microsomes. Incubations were either carried out with cyclosporin A concentrations of 10, 30, 100 and 300 micrograms ml-1 for 1 h or for different time periods (15, 30, 60 and 90 min) with cyclosporin A 300 micrograms ml-1. Lipid peroxidation was monitored measuring the amount of malondialdehyde. In additional experiments the effect of reduced and oxidized glutathione (1 mM) on cyclosporin-A-induced lipid peroxidation in human liver microsomes was studied. Cyclosporin A caused a significant dose and time-dependent increase of the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde. At the highest cyclosporin A concentration (300 micrograms ml-1) malondialdehyde production increased 5-fold in comparison to corresponding control values. Incubations for different time periods resulted in a 5-fold net increase of malondialdehyde formation after 90 min. In the presence of reduced glutathione, cyclosporin-A-induced lipid peroxidation was significantly inhibited. Furthermore, cyclosporin-A-induced microsomal lipid peroxidation was accompanied by a significant dose-dependent decline of the microsomal cytochrome P-450 content. At a cyclosporin A concentration of 300 micrograms ml-1, cytochrome P-450 content was decreased to 49% in comparison to control values. In the presence of reduced glutathione, cyclosporin A decreased the cytochrome P-450 concentration only to 79% (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Tityus serrulatus accident promote vast symptomatology related to toxins of the venom, which leads to a massive release of neurotransmitters, notably dopamine, affecting behavior and neurochemistry. The recommended treatment for envenomation is the antiscorpionic serum (SAEsc) administration. Related to this complexity of the Tityus serrulatus envenomation, this study aimed to assess organism responses to the venom, its impact on behavior, oxidative stress, neurochemistry, and genetic impacts, as well as the efficacy of SAEsc, especially concerning dopamine levels and genetic interactions.

Microplastics (MPs), as the crucial environmental pollutants, can be easily transported into the human body and accumulate in the liver. However, current studies mainly focus on acute exposure to MPs, investigations on long-term interactions with MPs alone remain limited. Thereby, we examined noxious properties of MPs and selected the most common polystyrene (PS) MPs as the research object, including unmodified PS MPs (PS-MPs) and positive-charged PS MPs (PS-NH) at 10 mg/L employing oral drinking water methods in mice for six consecutive months in vivo.

Hemorrhagic shock and reperfusion (HSR) is the main cause of death following trauma. Cognitive impairment may persist after successful resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, but the mechanisms remain elusive. This study demonstrated the presence of ferroptosis in an in vitro model of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) in HT22 neurons, and also in a murine model of HSR using 3-month-old C57BL/6 mice.
